Adopt Mila

Mixed Breed · Female

Hi, my name is Mila, I am a female dog of the Belgian shepherd breed born in 2019. I ended up in the animal shelter on March 15, 2026. I was running around the premises of a kindergarten on Matejki Street. I was thin and neglected, as expected no one was looking for me, although the shelter quickly determined my origin. I have not been well treated so far, I lived in a kennel on a chain which is unacceptable, but for a dog with my temperament it was particularly cruel. I am full of energy and smart, which is a characteristic of my breed. Belgian shepherds are very fast, intelligent, loyal and eager to learn, they need a lot of physical activity. Although I am friendly towards people, I do not get along well with other animals and small children. The ideal home for me is one where I will be the only pet. I need a lot of attention, play, walks and mental activities to meet my needs. I am spayed, I have all the current vaccinations, I am also dewormed, and soon I will have an spaying procedure, after which I will be ready for adoption.

Cześć, nazywam się Mila, jestem suczką w typie rasy owczarek belgijski urodzoną w 2019 roku. W schronisku znalazłam się 15 marca 2026 r. biegałam wówczas po terenie przedszkola przy ul. Matejki. Byłam chuda i zaniedbana, jak można było się spodziewać nikt mnie nie szukał, chociaż w schronisku szybko ustalono moje pochodzenie. Nie byłam do tej pory dobrze traktowana, mieszkałam w budzie na łańcuchu co jest niedopuszczalne, ale dla psa o moim temperamencie było szczególnie okrutne. Jestem pełna energii i bystra, co jest cechą charakterystyczną mojej rasy. Owczarki belgijskie to psy bardzo szybkie, inteligentne, lojalne i chętne do nauki, potrzebujące dużo aktywności fizycznej. Chociaż jestem przyjazna w stosunku do ludzi, nie dogaduję się dobrze z innymi zwierzętami oraz małymi dziećmi. Idealny dom dla mnie to taki, gdzie będę jedynym zwierzęciem. Potrzebuję dużo uwagi, zabawy, spacerków oraz aktywności umysłowej, aby spełnić swoje potrzeby. Jestem zaczipowana, mam wszystkie aktualne szczepienia, jestem też odrobaczona, a wkrótce czeka mnie zabieg sterylizacji, po którym będę gotowa do adopcji.

About Mila

What life with Mila looks like

Mila is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Zabrze in Zabrze.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇵🇱Adopting from Poland

Polish shelters maintain established transport routes to Germany, Netherlands, Austria, and Sweden. Animals leave sterilized and chipped. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mila, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mila?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko Zabrze handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mila on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mila if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko Zabrze will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Mila already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Mila isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Schronisko Zabrze early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mila and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (PL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
